1056174 Just to further clarify what I said earlier- its not that I am opposed to people going after some kind of reward for damages they suffered. What I AM opposed to are the people who go after millions of dollars for no permanent damage that they incured. I have a good friend of mine who...

1056218 I am hoping to do a V8 converstion to the next Jeep I own. Oh, and 'troy- the LT1 that is in my Camaro made peak torque at 2400 rpm, thats pretty low if you ask me. And if you put in a 4x4 cam, it will be even lower, so it all depends on how the motor is set up to perform and at what...

1056231 I wouldn't run the Jeep too long without anything giving you backpressure. Without backpressure you run the risk of ruining your valves. If you are just runnin down to the exhaust shop I don't think it would be a problem, but runnin around town for the next year would be. If you can...

1054928 Judge- You are forgetting one key element in your little dream world. A vast majority of the people in the Middle East loathe the US. Even if we did go in and turn their economy around, yeah the little people on the streets may love us, but that doesn't mean a thing if the people in...

1054932 Just to clarify- The ply rating of a tire doesn't say how long the tire will last. The number of plies indicates how strong the sidewalls are. Granted, usually a higher number of plies is on a tire that is meant for more heavy duty use, so yes, indirectly is CAN indicate a tire that...

1054944 The tool referred too is most easily described as a reverse 'EZ-out'. You set it on the end of the socket and spin it on until it grabs and takes the socket off. I worked at a tire shop for a couple years and this socket proved invaluable when you get in the old hoopies that some...

1055042 With all this talk about 'NOS' and superchargers I thought I accidently logged onto a "Fast and the Furious" forum. :D :D With all the money you would be putting into the nitrous, (NOS is a brand name) to set it up correctly and safely, you would have almost enough money to drop in a...

1055228 I did the SOA in my Jeep and I have the same vibration you are describing. I haven't tracked it down yet since it is not a real big deal to me at this point. I am going to try and put on some traction bars to see if that helps. I am thinking the vibration may be a slight amount of...

1055230 Ok, this is turning into an import forum here. All this talk of NAAAAWWWSSS makes think we are talking like import guys. The correct term to use is Nitrous. NOS is a brand name that has been used too much all because of a movie that was all about NAAWWWSSSS!!!! It would be the...

1048533 Another plus to skinnier rims is that the sidewalls have to do in to meet the rim, this helps protect them when off-roading as they are less likely to come in contact with rocks, stumps, ect.....[addsig]

1048534 I would also check the vacuum lines back to the transfer case as this is where another fault could be. If you don't have vacuum there, then check the lines that go back to the motor. Any of these places could be the origin of the fault. But, I wouls start at the axle and work back...

1048537 I also haven't seen any Ford swaps but a lot of Chevy swaps. I thought about it since I can also get my hands on a 302 HO from a late 60's mustang. I am all chevy when it comes to a V8 though, My Other Ride, so I don't know, hope it works for you and if it does let me know how hard it...

1048647 I would have to agree that the YJ horn is lacking in authority. I am going to change mine as soon as I find a good replacement for it. Thinkin maybe a set of nice low pitch airhorns would do the trick...[addsig]

1048648 The two turn indicator systems are independent of each other. I would buy a new bulb and see if that helps. Also check all the fuses as sometimes the brakelights are on a different circuit as the running lights. There is the slight chance that both bulbs went at the same time, but it...

1048651 I would try another place. Sometimes one place can be total pain and other places will let you get away with having to put your feet down as brakes... But seriously, I would go somewhere else as there are exemption rules that should be taking place anytime soon, but some states are...

1048719 Yup, sounds like the cat is clogged, get that thing either changed or gutted. That should clear up your problem I would think.[addsig]

1048721 When i put the shackle lift in my jeep it felt like I was having to overcorrect the steering all the time. I didn't have h-brace shackles, so I am sure that contributed to it. But since the Jeeps have such a short wheelbase, any play in the suspension is overexagerrated. I would...

1048803 It would depend on how rusty your frame is now. If you are up north and the Jeep has some years on it I would try the POR-15. If you are on a bit of a budget, I used a combination of undercoating and truck bed liner rattle cans. Just clean up the frame before you put it on. It seems...

1048804 Does the 4WD light stay on the whole time, or does it flicker? I had the same problem with my Jeep, the vacuum lines came disconnected and it got some water in there. This was not really a problem until it got cold and the water would freeze in there, not letting the arm engage the...

1048807 Have you done any real hard off-roadin work on the transfer case? Since its a '97 I would hope that it isn't a bad transfer case being that young of a Jeep. Since 4LO works fine I am going to lean towards the fact that there is something wrong with the transfer case. I would either...
